Today (Thanksgiving) was really kind of a sad day. I had a lot of school and the office was closed so I didn't get to see Isa or Zaida, and I got out of class so late I didn't get to see my family when I got home. I did, however, go to El Búho with Vero, Danielle and Maggie and get tasty vegan food for cafecito.
What's been on my mind this week is how dearly I miss my family, university, friends and life in the States. It's been totally new, the strength and the emotion of this, and it totally caught me off-guard. I have loved my time here. I have two free weeks to travel and play, starting today! But I would give anything to make it feasible to fly home tomorrow. What gives?
One of the ladies gave me the wisdom that my heart is just trying to prepare me to go home. That everyone else is feeling it too. Knowing that your time in a place is coming to an end, you start withdrawing from your life there in preparation for your life starting again somewhere else. I am doing awesome at this.
But really, today is Thanksgiving. I am thankful for being done with my finals as of twenty minutes ago and that I get to go home soon.
